internet down/stream of conciousness

my computer's internet is not working. i'm using Phillip's computer but i don't have any pictures on here, so i really don't feel like i have much to blog about. some of the recent things we have been doing: my parents were here for a long weekend and we had a lot of fun, went to Grant's Farm, they took walks with the kids, and we went shopping and cooked out a lot. thank you mom and dad for coming and getting to spend some great time with us and our kids! we also started fall bible study this past week and once again i am completely excited about the marriage study i am doing! the cry of the hidden heart...amazing! we also started Awanas yesterday. the girls are old enough to be in the cubbies program. it is on a wednesday night, while phillip is at zoe, so i took all the kids and THANK GOODNESS i had a sweet friend there who helped me. it is a little crazy trying to do those types of things for the girls, during the boys bedtimes. we'll just take it week by week, but the knowledge of them memorizing scriptures each week at Awana makes me want to make it work! :) it is definitely Fall here, I've put away the summer dresses and gotten out our winter clothes from last year that might still fit, rearranged our "Duggar Closet" in the laundry room, and decorated our house with Fall decorations. I love this time of year! All i need now is a pumpkin spice candle! We are going to Columbia for the weekend to spend time with a great family friend who we call our uncle even though he is not. We'll play with all sorts of animals and run free in the country air. Phillip will also get to go to the MIZZOU game, go tigers! Next week we are starting Homeschool Preschool. I'll be posting weekly (or trying to) our TOT School and Preschool recap. We are off to the magic house, our first time with 4 kids! Next post: pictures!
